About

These data have been collected by the SSSC (https://www.sssc.uk.com/) to inform placement requirements on social services programmes accepted for registration by the SSSC.

Many thanks to the staff of Scotland’s colleges for submitting data and making this work possible.

Explanation

Not all courses require student placement. The overall number of students enrolled is shown on as “All Students”, otherwise enrolled student numbers are for those courses requiring a placement.

The description of course options is:

  • Option 1: the student has a placement or is employed in the sector.
  • Option 2: the student requires the college to find them a placement.
  • Option 3: the student is planning on attending university after their course, and so a practical placement is not required at this stage.
